@Forteisbest and other interested parties: I didn't think I'd use my pumpkin myself, but I've found it's the perfect size to carry a few mints and an extra hair elastic or 2. It's also come in handy to hold a necklace that broke when I was out and about and add some interest to its home: clipped on my purse strap. It could also hold a ring! I hope this review is helpful.
